I am OUTRAGED by these rogue anti-spyware programs we ordinary folk are subjected to. We need a monthly list of such rogues as well as a list of good, trusted programs we can use without anxiety. I have been using XoftSpy for years but read tonight that it is amongst the rogues. I was also taken in my Max SpywareDetector. We need help! I am 71 and try to run a clean, virus- and anti-spyware-free PC only to learn, tonight for the first time, of the proliferation of these rogues. Why can't such programs be criminalized? Is there no legal protection for us? How can we best protect ourselves? A list of rogue programs would be a great help to us and I would contribute toward it's compilation and upkeep with pleasure. Thank you for exposing these pigs.

Hi,

Thanks a lot for giving the tool and detailed instructions of removing IE Antivirus spyware. These cheaters are smart as they choose a name and website related to Microsoft's Internet Explorer (IE starting letters in their domain and product) to make them look genuine and related to Microsoft.

I will try to see from where they have taken the hosting and will make attempts to remove their site by making complaints to the hosting provider. I know that there are lot of cheap hosting providers who will still host this crooked site meant for making money by harassing and cheating the customers, but I will still make efforts.

Thanks once again, I was able to remove this spyware successfully without any problems.

Regards,

Rajesh Mago
